I have a bit of a problem, When using the tag multiple command to add tags to my doors. When i do the command using window tags and select multiple after inserting the first tag and I'm prompted to select additional objects, I window the entire drawing and it automatically selects only the windows. When I try the same proceedure for doors I'd expect the same thing to happen that only the doors would be selected. but instead every object in the window is selected and Tagged. am i doing something wrong? or is the tag designed wrong? or is this just not an option with door tags and is one with window tags. Any help would be appreciated.

I hadn't noticed this in 2004, but I'm getting ready to tag abunch of doors, so I'll see what happens.
Did you by chance have Geo attached to the door you started tagging?...this might be what is causing your selection to include all objects???

I got rid of the Geo property set its still picking up all the other objects like walls and such.

Ive posted a drawing that has the problem. maybe somone else can see something im missing.

I've fixed the problem, somehow in the DoorObject PSD I have every type of object selected under the "applies to" tab so of course everything was being selected when I selected the entire drawing to tag multiple objects. (doh!)
